Syracuse, N.Y. -- John Trumble Jr. "sucker punched" another man when he happened upon the victim and Trumble's wife sitting in a truck in the parking lot of Rosie's Pub in Syracuse earlier this week, police said.

The man, Michael Kanasola Jr. of Nedrow, suffered a fractured and dislocated jaw and cheek bone and two cracked ribs, doctors told police.

Kanasola gave his account to an officer while he was being treated for his injuries at Upstate University Hospital.

A police report provided the following details of his account:

Kanasola, 45, met Trumble's wife Theresa while he was hanging out with friends at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill. As the group began to break up, Kanasola offered her a ride home. They both live in Nedrow.

They stopped at Rosie's Sports Pub & Grille for a couple of drinks. Afterward, they sat in Kanasola's truck, and Theresa spoke with someone on the phone.

That's when the driver's side door opened, and Kanasola was "sucker punched," he told police.

Trumble, 35, hit him four to five times in the head and rammed himself against Kanasola to get into the vehicle.

As he tried to take the keys out of the truck's ignition, people rushed over and removed Trumble.

Kanasola said he had blood running down his face and numbness on the left side of his abdomen and head. As pain and swelling persisted throughout the day, he went to the hospital.

Doctors told police that his jaw was dislocated, and he had two cracked ribs and a fractured nasal passage.

Police arrested Trumble Monday at around 5 p.m., charged him with assault and released him on an appearance ticket.

Trumble told police that Kanasola was trying to kiss his wife, and the two got into a physical altercation. Kanasola should not have been trying to rub up on Theresa, he said.

After he was read his Miranda rights, he told police "Kanasola deserved what he got."
